For any future followers that find their way to following this account, if you have questions about my books, be it about a character, scene, event, or really any part of the world building, feel free to ask about it. I like the engagement; just be forewarned you might get spoilers.

There's nothing quite like hitting the point in writing a book where you can stop, hit enter again, and type, "The end." Harvester is now draft-complete. I'm going to take a few days to decompress and then I guess it's off to find beta readers and find a way to gin up enough scratch to bribe, I mean pay! PAY my cover artist.

@johnkonrad Only so much you can do out to sea on long-ass deployments and constant shifts in uncertain waters. Anyone who expects a ship to return to the pier clean after leaving contested waters should check their expectations.

If you zoom in you can see she’s been working hard and the crew didn’t get all the rust. But she’s not a national embarrassment like the ships were under Biden

One of the biggest dogpiles I ever got on X was for saying long deployments are no excuse for returning to port looking like a Russian trawler with tetanus. I was told large rust stains were unavoidable. Well, wither Trump has magic fairy dust or it ain’t impossible 👇

Interesting fact that you can argue but not win- having been on the CMDP inspection team from JFHQ and inspected the 34th Division band, any time they're not doing music, they're shooting. They're super well represented in the Governor's X (Presidents 100) every year and best warrior competition. The phrase from older people when they end a sentence with "To beat the band" is because this has been going on for decades, and if you want to win one of these comps you literally have to beat the band. Because they will be well trained and represented every time.

@Tezkiya @DellAnnaLuca One might be able to make the case that their intersection with reality in this one use-case might make for a decent study for Quantum Optics, as thin a lens as it appears.

@MrAndyNgo Well, as disappointing as it may be, if they can't understand that duct taping tree limbs to a person doesn't make them a tree, it's a bit unfair to expect them to understand what murder is.

You'd probably laugh at the rant one of my characters in Harvester goes off on concerning catgirls. To be fair to Jenna, she's been isekai'ed with her brother into a pretty shitty situation, and under a lot of stress. It's reasonable for the engineering nerd to rant about things on the internet because as horrible as the internet might be, it's still part of a normalcy people would miss when their reality gets jumblefucked. See also veterans bitching about missing all sorts of shit from when they were active duty. People miss the weirdest shit.

I feel compelled to point out there's a little ambiguity in the term, possibly just because I haven't had my coffee today just yet. The term as used seems to apply to a lot of the modern slop written so blatantly poorly that the only reasonable interpretation for motivation seems to be that the creator did it because they hated the audience, the original author, the IP, etc etc etc. Looking at just the word itself and not the context, it's possible to dislike a work or author to the point of taking the original idea, sanding off the serial numbers and reimagining it into a different form, and doing so because you thought you could do the theme better. My sci-fi series started because I'd read someone else's work and thought to myself, "The writing is iffy and the plot leaves so much on the table... I could do this better." While the motive was certainly hate-based, the end goal was to do something better, not destroy the original. Admittedly, it remains a matter of opinion whether or not I actually did it better, but I'd like to think so.

The first time I met Gabe was when he was given the job by MicroSoft (for whom he worked then) to port DOOM to Windows 95. Of course in 1995. He did a stupendous job of course.

Gabe Newell owns the majority share in Steam. Now, I know Newell somewhat. We've met. We've talked. He's not a close friend by any means. But it is by his will and genius that Steam is the way it is - a triumph of good guy capitalism. A great site for finding games, with cheap prices, frequent sales. Well ... I don't need to praise it here. You guys all know about it. When Newell passes away, it's unclear what will happen with Steam. Doubtless his shares will go to his family. Will they continue his vision? Or will they sell out to one of the many circling sharks who have been trying to buy it for years? What will happen if the sharks DO get their teeth into Steam? I believe that in that case Steam will go to hell in a handbasket. Owned by men in suits who don't give a sh*t about quality or the consumer. Probably it will become a subscription service or worse. If it gets sold to a horror show like Electronic Arts or Disney it'll be a nightmare. The only mitigating feature is that a different service might arise, but it will need to fight the rotting lumbering corpse of Steam to establish itself. I am content that since I am several years older than Gabe, it is plausible that I won't live to see this terrible day. But you might. Gabe Newell, to me, is literally barring the gates to Hell for us all.

*snort* God, I don't know what's funnier, the fact that I didn't notice the typo (Second feet -> fleet) until just now, or the fact that it still fits the Navy tradition of slightly altering names when making fun of something. On one hand, I feel stupid for not catching it, on the other, I'm still pretty amused.

I was recently reminded that nobody gets butthurt faster than a Navy O6 who spent an entire career leaving no fingerprints on history… then has to sign off when someone calls in the big guns to land an O4/O5 a killer TDY.

Honestly, if it were possible to get similar effects on target, I really want to see triple-gun rail turrets on that beast. At least two. But... that might just be me and my eternal love for what the USS Montana was supposed to be. Everyone dreams about the one who got away... I dream of the one that was never built. ;) Yeah, I like the idea of battleships. And while I'm willing to admit reality needs to take priority... I like big boats and I cannot lie.

Some of the top naval “xperts” told me the Navy would quietly drop the Trump Battleship by summer. I even got cancelled from my regular appearances on a top navy podcast for saying THIS IS HAPPENING Well folks. The Navy didn’t back down. They doubled down with nuclear power!

Heh. The command I served at for my first and only enlistment had ~3-400 officers to 150 enlisted and the lowest O-grade was O-3 and we had 4 of them on average. 18 O-6s under one roof kissing the 3-star's ass and resorting to pulling seniority to feel special was a uniquely tiring and irritating experience. As the sayings go, never meet your heroes and never ask how the sausage is made. Eventually you decide it's pig lips and assholes all the way down, whether the casing has an officer's crest or not.

@FactssRandom @Snakeeater36 @SiredbyZeus Ever served in a senior top heavy unit ? Like only a handful below E7. 50 assigned. An O5 asking an E7 to take out his garbage, or carry his kit to the LMTV, and the NCO skake is head no. Seen a few butt hurt LTC's who realized, they are worker's just like everyone else.

Holy shit dude…. I don’t know where this dude came up, but where I came from they let you talk to subordinates like this ONE TIME, then team daddy or big sarge puts their hand around your shoulder and takes you behind the wood shed. O5 or no, this isn’t the way you speak to senior NCOs, especially in public.
